Salsa

I got this from my friend Charlotte. It makes a really good salsa.

2 - 14.5 ounce stewed tomatoes (Mexican)
1/2 of an onion (finely diced)
1 tsp. minced garlic
1/2 of a lime juiced
1 tsp. salt
1/4 c. jalepinos (a little less if you don't want it too spicy)
3 TBSP chopped fresh cilantro

Mix ingredients in blender on low for a few seconds.

Tips:
-drain tomatoes well
-don't blend too long

Alternatives:
-more lime, bit of salt, splash of vinegar and a little extra cilantro

Macaroni Grill Balsamic Bread Dip

Have you ever had the fresh bread and dip at Macaroni Grill? It makes a great appetizer and it is really easy to make.

All you need is:

-Balsamic vinegar
-Olive Oil
-Salt and pepper
-Italian Seasoning (or dried basil and oregano)
-fresh minced garlic

Do about half oil, half vinegar and then add the other stuff to taste.
Serve with a loaf of warm french bread. (wrap the bread in tin foil and place in your oven to warm, if you want the outside crispy, take the tin foil off)
